Hi,Just a note to tell you a little about myself. I have been in the RV business for about 30 years. Yes, got into this when it was just a baby. I have camped in just about everything there is and plan on doing it till I die. When I retire in about 3 years I plan on touring the USA in a 5th wheel. About 10 years ago my wife and I started thinking about a web site for RVers that would be just a fun site. After all these years we are at the point it is up. Not finished yet but it is on the Internet. If you look at the site you will see one of our cartoonist is from New Zealand. We are going to link Campground sites from all over the world and would like some info on what are the best sites in Australia. If you have any other suggestions for links that would be of interest to Australian campers we would appreciate any info you could give us. Also don't know much about camping in Australia and any cartoon ideas would be great. Thanks for reading and if you have any questions about camping in the USA I would be glad to try and answer them. By the way the site is belowthanks again. Jim

We'd like to do a 'route 66' across America one day. Drove from Las Vegas to S.F. via Death Valley and Yosemite some years ago but would luv to do a bigger (and camping... we stayed in motels) trip one day.

Will have to have a look at your site from home. Loking forward to seeing some of the cartoons... might be able to offer some suggestions then.

In lue of a answer from our US friends I think I can safely answer that for you Ozzy. Nope never heard of them outside OZ for some reason. There are various one man tents and car/truck accessories that work on the same principle but no SWAGS. Maybe a export market there for ya Ozzy?

Nige,About 2 years ago I ran Rt66 through Tx., NM, and into AZ. Very interesting trip. Alot of small towns that are almost ghost towns now. I think if you had the chance you would love it. Another great trip would be US 1 from Mane to Fla.

Ozzy,Thanks for the info. Are there many people still using swags in Au.?Still quite a few tent campers in the U.S. but they use backpack frames and carry everything in the backpack with the tent rolled on top. (the hikers that is) The rest carry big tents in their cars, truck, 4-wheelers, etc. More camping done over here in RVs than in tents though.Jim

I guess I still don't comprehend just how much open land you guys have over there. Must be great to be able to travel and camp where there aren't a load of other campers along side you. Here in Arizona when the snow birds come down we have some campgrounds with 1000 or more spaces filled to the brim.
